2010 Map of Piqua West

About this map

Piqua sits at the eastern edge of this western Ohio landscape, where the Great Miami River and Stillwater River define the local drainage patterns. In this early twenty-first-century survey, the transition from urban streets to a grid of rural farmland is clear, punctuated by small unincorporated settlements such as Polo, Abe, and Mount Jefferson. The area is notably dense with burial grounds, including the large Forest Hill Cemetery near the river and smaller, potentially older sites like Houston Cemetery and Priest Cemetery, which offer valuable points of interest for genealogical researchers. Water management is a primary feature of the terrain, characterized by a complex network of man-made cuts like Sigmon Ditch and Klase Ditch. These diversions feed into natural waterways such as Trotters Creek and Patterson Run, illustrating the agricultural engineering required to maintain the fertile plains surrounding Clayton.
